Isaiah 11:10-16
International Standard Version
Israel Regathered
10 At that time,[a] as to[b] the root of Jesse, who will be standing as a banner for the peoples, the nations will rally to him, and his resting place is[c] glorious.
11 At that time,[d] the Lord will reach out his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people, from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt,[e] from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands[f] of the sea.
12 He will raise a banner for the nations
and will assemble the dispersed of Israel;
he will gather the scattered people of Judah
from the corners[g] of the earth.
Israel’s Victory over Its Enemies
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,[h]
and those who are hostile to Judah will be eliminated;[i]
Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah,
and Judah will not be hostile to Ephraim.
14 But they[j] will swoop down
on the slopes[k] of the Philistines to the west,
and they will plunder[l] the people to[m] the east.
They’ll lay their hands on Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
15 The Lord will totally destroy
the gulf[n] of the Sea of Egypt.
He will sweep his hand
over the Euphrates River
with a violent wind,[o]
breaking it up into seven streams,
and making a way for people to cross on foot.
16 And there will be a highway
for the remnant that is left of his people out of Assyria,
as there was for Israel
when they came up
from the land of Egypt.
